Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Nice to Bari. Right-side seats win overall because the takeoff view of the Côte d'Azur and Alpes Maritimes is more dramatic and visually distinctive than the landing approach. The Mediterranean and Alpine scenery outweighs the Adriatic and Salento views.

During takeoff from Cote D Azur (NCE), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right-side seats capture the Côte d'Azur coastline and the Alpes Maritimes as you climb out heading southeast. You'll see the Mediterranean immediately below and the snow-capped Alps receding inland to the northwest. Notable sights include: Mediterranean Sea (immediate), Alpes Maritimes peaks (inland northwest), Baie des Anges coastline (below), Esterel Massif (southeast).

When landing at Palese Macchie (BRI), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left-side seats offer the best view during descent into Bari. You'll see the Adriatic coastline, the Itria Valley's distinctive white trulli houses, and the Salento Peninsula's limestone terrain as you approach from the northwest. Notable sights include: Adriatic Sea (below), Itria Valley (inland, distinctive white settlements), Salento Peninsula limestone plateau (south), Bari harbor and city (final approach).

The flight from Cote D Azur (NCE) to Palese Macchie (BRI) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Mediterranean southeast from Nice, passing over open water for roughly 90 minutes. You'll cross the Tyrrhenian Sea and approach the Italian coast near the Gargano Peninsula. The Apennine Mountains run parallel to your route inland (visible on clear days from altitude), and the Adriatic coastline becomes prominent in the final 30 minutes of descent toward Bari.
